I love prac­tic­ing pedi­atric med­i­cine because it allows me the oppor­tu­ni­ty to build long-term rela­tion­ships with patients and fam­i­lies and deliv­er evi­dence-based care to patients across var­i­ous barriers.

Clinical Interests

As a pri­ma­ry care pedi­a­tri­cian, my pri­ma­ry inter­est is in pro­tect­ing and advanc­ing the health of my patients through reg­u­lar check-ups and guide­line-based screening.

Personal Interests

Out­side of med­i­cine, I enjoy spend­ing time and shar­ing expe­ri­ences with my fam­i­ly. I am also a Notre Dame fan and enjoy cheer­ing them on in all sports!
